The second and final group of Project Runway New Zealand designers can now be revealed!

Joining the previously announced contestants, this last batch includes a San Fran native, a Maori Lecturer from Napier whose designs have already been worn by Anika Moa and a chess FIDE Master title holder.

The remaining seven joining the competition are:

Beau Takapu, 37, Retail Senior Sales Assistant from Auckland
